I am here and will remain here, comrade...And will use some time this evening to keep spreading the word, get the avatars moved and try the social media log in, which could be useful. Cheers for heading over. How the devil is your Belgium existence? Any travel plans? New work? And the apartment?

My waylaid trip to Europe should appear in September...unless I find myself returning to the Eden-esque paradise of New Zealand.

How long since I smiled at your delightul feline familiar, my dear...How the devil are you? I shall make some more effort to draw in some of the old crowd, and kindly join me in doing the same. It will be jolly to catch up with a fair few of you fiends...Cheers,D.

Well...I have been in and out of romantic endeavour, travelled a fair amount when possible over the last few years, great stint in Morocco, also took in Belgium, Germany, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and more nearby...Have changed jobs several times, yet still with the local council and am now working part time as a busking chap, dealing with the jugglers and singers and magicians, which is jolly and immensely busy. Also been heading over to NZ at least once per year, to joyfully embrace the wilderness of my elfin sister's hippy lair in the forest, hiring a two wheeled devil steed and squealing with delight as I seek out waterfalls and savage waves...My love abounds for that rugged country and people.

And yet now, still toking, drinking too much, and focusing on a novel or two, with a third eye on reviving this website and community.

Just out of curiosity I checked this place again. Last time I checked it looked like a Russian site for cheap ray-bans and dick pills. I've been caught up in the rat-race, and like everyone else, also older. Glad to see familiar usernames still pop in from time to time.

Edit - Damn, nearly 10 years here and I still haven't got my second dope leaf under my username.
